Former football player sues BGSU

Posted: Updated:
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio -

Bowling Green State University is facing a civil lawsuit from a former football player.

Cody Silk claims the university and several members of the football staff failed to recognize, diagnose or treat him for head trauma and concussion symptoms after issuing him an ill-fitted helmet.

The suit claims neurological damage was the result. It also alleges the university used Silk's damaged mental state to revoke his athletic scholarship.

A spokesman for BGSU says the university cannot comment on the case.
